Chapter 4 – On My Own
Kacey's POV
I was in trouble now Zoe was the only one who knew about the abuse and was leaving for a BMX programme on the other side of the country.
My arm was very painful and so was my face, mum hadn't touched me since I broke my arm but that is because I think she thinks people will get suspicious if I get bruises whilst having broken bones.
It was Saturday and I was around at Zoe's as she was getting ready to leave, I couldn't help crying when I said bye to her.
'If your mum loses it, call me'
I hugged her and she left, but with Zoe gone things would get a lot worse and this time I was on my own.
I was ok until 3 weeks later when I got the cast off, mum was angry because I was point blank refusing to wear makeup, so she punched me and one of my teeth flew out, the pain was unbearable, and then things took a dramatic turn.
I was sitting at the table in the kitchen having a hot chocolate when mum came in and started making a coffee, I didn't say anything as I always seemed to annoy her nowadays, so when she came and sat next to me it was more than a bit of a shock.
I smiled at her weakly hoping the good moment will continue when she hurt me, I had my hand resting on the table and she took her spoon out her coffee and placed in on my hand and burned me, I screamed and when she took away the spoon a blistering red mark was there.
The next day at school, my hand was throbbing the skin was flaky and peeling but I didn't dare go to the nurse, my nails were also very painful, mum had forced fake nails on me and when I was in my room I couldn't stand having them on so them being glued down was torture, I ended up biting them off along with half my real nails, I knew mum had done it on purpose as she loved to see me suffer.
I know I am a boy but I never thought that would stop mum loving me and definitely not stop with the abuse but she was getting clever she did it where it wasn't noticeable now and also made sure to never do it when Barry and Dynasty were in the room.
I did wear the uniform now as it was one less thing for her too hurt me for though I didn't enjoy wearing I stupidly thought if I obeyed her things would get better but how very wrong I was.
